Elise seems to be doing really well. The doctor and everyone warned us that the pain would get worse for about three days and then start to subside. So far I haven't noticed it getting worse at all. Immediately after surgery, when she was laying in my arms and crying, was the worst moment I think. She does have a few times a day, probably when her meds are starting to wear off, that she will complain a little, but not like I expected. Last night when she was having one of those moments it was right before bed and she was brushing her teeth. We were both standing in front of the mirror and she was crying a bit. She said, "Why did he do this to me??" Oh, it was so sad! So I gently explained to her that breathing was really important and we'd like her to breath better at night.
The photos were taken yesterday, the day after surgery. Shawn took a nap for the first time in forever. He actually fell asleep sitting up in a chair in the kitchen while eating a popsicle. Too funny! Elise wanted me to lay him down with her. So cute . . . until she starting kicking him in the head. He then was moved and able to take a peaceful nap on the other couch.
